Web-first Hermes skills index and safety gate: find SKILL.md packs before you install them.
Overview
From the repository's own README, as read at the audited commit. Badges and raw HTML are left out.
Awesome Hermes Agent Skills
A safety-gated index of Hermes-compatible skills. Five named jobs first. Not a 1,000-skill dump.
Independent curation. Not official Nous Research. Official skill docs: Skills · Creating skills · agentskills.io
This is an awesome list of the web, not a marketing page for our packs. 0xNyk and VoltAgent are directories — start there to browse, not to install. This list is the start set: five named workflows, then SkillSpector, then one install. Ninety seconds: GETTING_STARTED.md. Agents: docs/earned.json. Always-do: docs/LIST-CONTRACT.md.

What it tells the agent
The instruction file, verbatim from the audited commit — this is the text the model reads, and the surface the audit's instruction layer examines. Quoted here so you can judge it without cloning anything.

# Coding Agents Superpack (Free)
Portable multi-CLI orchestration patterns for Hermes, Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Grok CLI, and similar agents.
**This free pack is sanitized.** Personal host quirks, private brand wiring, and machine-specific topology live in private overlays — not here.
## When to Use
- Multiple coding CLIs available; need discovery or comparison
- Designing structured prompts for autonomous coding agents
- Multi-agent collaboration with a shared board (Model Council pattern)
- Building hybrid “orchestrator drives + specialist CLI executes” workflows
**Don't use for:** single-CLI deep flags (load that vendor’s skill/docs); private multi-brand empire ops.
## Discovery (run first)
```bash
which codex && codex --version
which claude && claude --version && claude auth status
which opencode && opencode --version
which grok && grok --version
# health
codex doctor 2>/dev/null
claude doctor 2>/dev/null
```
Prefer **project-scoped** filesystem checks. Avoid recursive search from home or drive roots (slow, noisy, and unsafe on multi-device Windows setups).
Test agents in an isolated temp git repo:
```bash
TEST_DIR=$(mktemp -d)
cd "$TEST_DIR" && git init -q && echo "# test" > README.md && git add . && git commit -q -m init
```
## Headless modes (automation)
| Agent | Preferred non-interactive |
|-------|---------------------------|
| Claude Code | `claude -p "..." --max-turns N --allowedTools "Read,Edit,Bash"` |
| Codex | `codex exec "..."` (sandbox flags per install) |
| OpenCode | `opencode run "..."` |
| Grok CLI | `grok --always-approve "..."` (confirm flags for your version) |
## Universal prompt structure
```text
# Objective
Clear goal + measurable success criteria
# Context
1. Read these exact files first: ...
2. Constraints: ...
# Procedure
1. ...
2. ...
# Required Artifacts
- Files with exact paths
- Verification report
# Verification
Run tests/lint; report failures; do not claim done without evidence
```
## Model Council (lightweight multi-agent)
When agents must collaborate (not isolated one-shots):
1. Shared board file: `KANBAN_BOARD.md` (or Hermes kanban)
2. Shared state: `STATE.json` or equivalent
3. Role prompts force: **read board first**, **update board last**
4. Explicit handoff artifacts (`IMPLEMENTATION_BRIEF.md`, etc.)
Roles example: Chair · Planner · Implementer · Reviewer · Researcher
## Hybrid execution pattern
For large multi-repo work:
1. **Orchestrator** creates foundations with direct file/git ops (visible, fast)
2. **CLI specialists** get scoped tasks with `--max-turns` / budgets
3. Publish a single **execution report** that separates *done* vs *delegated queue*
4. Never leave silent open tasks without a handoff document
## Safety & cost
- Cap turns/budget on headless runs
- Restrict tools to what the task needs
- Prefer print/one-shot modes for CI
- Clean up tmux/sessions after interactive work
- Never put secrets in prompts or board files
## Verification checklist
- [ ] Discovery run; versions recorded
- [ ] Prompt includes Objective/Context/Procedure/Verification
- [ ] Headless flags set (max-turns/tools)
- [ ] Artifacts exist on disk; tests/lint reported
- [ ] Board updated if multi-agent

Questions
What does the awesome-hermes-agent-skills skill do?
Web-first Hermes skills index and safety gate: find SKILL.md packs before you install them.
Is awesome-hermes-agent-skills safe to install?
The audit found nothing in the source that contradicts what it says it does, and graded it B (89/100). Grade A is held back for packages that have also passed a sandboxed behavioural run, which is why a clean skill reads B.
What can awesome-hermes-agent-skills access on my machine?
The audit observed no filesystem, network or shell use at all in its source.
Which assistants does awesome-hermes-agent-skills work with?
Its documentation mentions claude-code, codex, copilot, cursor, gemini-cli and openclaw. That is what the text claims, not a compatibility test we ran.
How current is this page?
The grade is for one exact copy of the source (0dc89a41544e), read on 2026-10-14. The repository is watched, and a new audit runs when it changes — this is the first audit.
